- Description
- Michel Couvreur's The '90s was distilled in Scotland in December 1990 and spent 26 years maturing in a single oloroso sherry cask in a Burgundian cave, creating a unique Franco-Scottish expression. The French cask environment and oloroso aging produce rich notes of dried fruit, chocolate, and wood spice with a complexity that reflects decades of slow maturation. Bottled at 47% ABV in December 2017, this is a rare marriage of Scottish distillation and continental cask aging. A collector's whisky that rewards contemplation and tells a distinctive story of place and time.
